The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing is a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Washington DC, which focuses on the intersection between roofing and energy and environmental performance. The Center's core mission is to "serve as a forum to draw together the entire roofing industry to the common cause of promoting the roofing knowledge base, development and use of environmentally responsible, high performance roof systems."


History

In February 2008, a group of industry leaders established the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing, a 501(c)(6) organization designed to promote the knowledge base, development and use of environmentally responsible, high-performance roof systems. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the Center was created with specific objectives:
  • Serve as a repository for information pertaining to energy, the environment and roofing
  • Coordinating and encouraging objective research
  • Serve as a research link between academia and industry and providing a forum for ongoing peer review of such research
  • Safeguard jurisdiction to ensure new roofing products, systems and services remain within the sphere of the roofing industry
  • Expand market opportunities
  • Develop science-based advocacy on behalf of the industry
  • Coordinate standards and codes, both in the U.S. and abroad[1]
The Center commenced operations on March 4, 2008..
